Bordeaux Travel Highlights

The city of Bordeaux lies in the middle of France's largest wine-growing region. At its heart is an elegant, rectangular plaza laid out in 1820. Luxury shops gravitate toward its center and to the northwest is the Gothic Cathédrale St-André (1170). The old city, with its twisting medieval streets and Renaissance houses painted in Bordeaux reds, oranges, and ochers, lies within the 17th-century ramparts that form a semi-circle around the harbor.
